The Sart Canal bridge in Houdeng Aimeries (BE) / Fully measurable and replacable post-tensioning cables
|
|
The exceptional dimensions of the Sart Canal Bridge are necessary for modernization of the Centre canal. Freyssinet is supplying and installing prestressing for the new bridge.
The entire prestressing is applied using unbonded strands threaded into a HDPE duct filled with cement grout before tensioning.
A longitudinal and transverse prestressing cable system makes the bridge perfectly watertight.
This prestressing provides an excellent protection against corrosion, and can be adjusted and replaced strand by strand. |
